UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The Penn State men's golf team, under the direction of 31st-year head coach Greg Nye, is set to begin the 2022-23 season Friday and Saturday when the Nittany Lions kick off the fall slate at Duke's Rod Myers Invitational.
Shotgun starts will begin at 9:15 a.m. Friday for the opening day's 36 holes, while the final 18 holes will be played Saturday with tee times beginning at 7:35 a.m. on the Duke University Golf Club's par-72, 7,154-yard course.
Penn State's lineup for the season-opening event features five experienced Nittany Lions. Patrick Sheehan makes his senior season debut after putting together a standout junior campaign in which he led the Nittany Lions with a 70.94 stroke average, qualified for NCAA Regionals as an individual, earned All-Northeast Region and second-team All-Big Ten honors.
Sophomores Jake Griffin and Morgan Lofland are set to compete this weekend after each putting together strong freshman campaigns a season ago. Griffin turned in the best finish by a freshman in the 2022 Big Ten Championships field, while Lofland secured three top-10 finishes in his debut collegiate season.
Junior James Allen and senior Jimmy Meyers round out Penn State's Rod Myers lineup. Allen finished third on the team a season ago with a 73.48 stroke average, while Meyers collected All-Northeast Region honors as a mainstay in Penn State's lineup during the 2021-22 slate.
The Rod Myers Invitational is named for the longtime Duke men's golf coach who lost his battle with leukemia in 2007. The Nittany Lions are competing in the event for the sixth time in the last seven years. Penn State won the event in the fall of 2018.
